KimJohansen (10337) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - MAR 21, 2008
Deep amber with tiny head. Sweet malty aroma with light sour brett notes. Same goes for the somewhat sweet flavor. I will never learn to appreciate sweetened lambic...

HenrikSoegaard (7231) - Randers, DENMARK - MAR 15, 2008
Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Powerfull nice complex aroma. Moderate sweet and acetic flavor. Well-balanced. Average finish. Oily palate. Pleasent to drink also for people who normally dislike lambics.

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 11, 2008
2008-03-01. Mahogany-chestnut brown body with a waifish beige head. Modest aroma, muted sournes over barely there fruit. Simple sweetness in the flavour, apple juice like fruitiness. Extremely muted notes of hor or barnyard in the background if you look for them. (6+) Average palate. Pleasantly drinkable - I can see having this with a meal - but not complex or assertive enough to score more highly.
Bottle at Zythos Festival, St. Niklaas

Draught at Beer Circus, Brussels. Brown with a bubbly, small head. Sourish aroma; vinegar. Almost flat. Kinda sweet but still with fine soruish notes. Some light vinous touch with fruitiness; raisins.

shrubber85 (4843) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - MAR 6, 2008
Bottle. Sweet sugar and sour musty malt aroma. Dark amber with large head. Creamy, slightly sweet malt flavor initially folowed by musty barnyard flavor. Not overly sweet.

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - MAR 4, 2008
From tap/cask at Bier Circus according to the chalkboard - I did see a 10 L box of this while easting and the beer was served living room temp. hot. Pours cola brown, clear, has a little bobbly white head. Light caramel aroma, light sweet note, but mainly a mild butterish note. Sweet caramel flavour wit a light butterish flavour and somewhat butterish mouthfeel. Light caramel lingering finish, shows a mild acidic bite aswell. Just plain boring cane sugarish and caramel brew.
